Problem solving with factors, multiples, squares and cubes

This unit on factors, multiples, squares and cubes helps pupils build on their understanding that any positive integer can be expressed as a product of its factors. This skill is used in the next unit to explore multiplying and dividing with decimals.

In this unit, pupils learnt how to identify common factors and common multiples. in this unit, pupils build on this understanding to find the LCM and HCF

In this unit pupils develop their understanding of factors and multiples, then extend this knowledge to learn general divisibility tests for integers and develop strategies to determine the highest common factor and lowest common multiple of two or more integers.
